Description:
Attempting to submit a "like" on a band via the provided form resulted in an HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed error. This issue was traced back to an incorrect URL pattern configuration that did not properly handle POST requests for the liking mechanism.
Steps to Reproduce:
Navigate to the band details page at /bands///.
Click the "Like this band" button.
Observe that the server responds with an HTTP 405 error.
Expected Result:
Clicking the "Like this band" button should successfully record a like for the band without any errors, and then redirect the user back to the band details page.
Actual Result:
The server returned an HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed error, indicating that the POST request was not configured properly in the URL patterns.
Analysis:
The error was due to the URL pattern /bands//like/ only capturing the primary key (pk) without the expected slug, which was inconsistent with other URL patterns in the application that utilize both pk and slug. This inconsistency likely caused confusion in the URL routing, especially for POST requests.
Solution:
The URL pattern for the LikeBand view was updated to /bands///like/ to maintain consistency with other patterns and ensure proper handling of POST requests. This change resolved the HTTP 405 error.
